Summary
Adds error handling in the event that Heft, when orchestrated in IPC mode, fails to send a postmessage to the host. This condition is treated as a fatal error and rejects the watcher promise, which will cause the process to exit with a non-zero exit code and log the error, instead of hitting the unhandled error hook.
